Course materials

One of my goals as a language instructor at university is to strengthen the relationship between teaching and research. My own research is grounded within the frameworks of interactional linguistics, gesture studies and multimodality, which focus on the interplay between prosody, syntax, and gesture in talk-in-interaction. In line with these frameworks, I believe in a multimodal and interactive approach to teaching, by considering different modes and media, combining visual aids and written materials. Therefore, in my teaching, I put a lot of emphasis on visual materials, such as videos, graphs, illustrations or pictures as a motivational tool for enhancing students’ attention to written materials. I also encourage students' participation through interactive classroom activities (e.g. interactive quizzes, open-ended questions, ice breakers etc.).

ELAN Tutorial

In this Introductory Tutorial, I walk through basic features of the software ELAN, including the creation of tiers for transcription lines in order to teach students how to transcribe spoken speech (in annotation and transcription modes).

This course was initially intended for Master students in Linguistics and Didactics in Long Distance Learning. I then made a series of videos in French as part of an online course (here).

Grammar Remediation

This short video is part of a Grammar Remediation (Rémédiation Linguistique) online Program at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, intended for first-year undergraduate students in English Studies who need to catch up with some of the basics of Grammar. This video (in French) deals with the passive voice in English.

Why SBE and not GA?

This video addresses phonological differences between Standard British English (SBE) and General American (GA), and explains why SBE is more often taught at French universities (more specifically Sorbonne Nouvelle) than GA.

This video was made with Christelle Exare, and was initially intended for first-year undergraduate students in English Studies.
